EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J., Nov. 16, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- Hudson Booksellers, a brand unit of travel retailer Hudson Group, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Dufry, AG of Basel, Switzerland, has announced its list of the Best Books published in 2010.

This year's selection includes the 10 Best Fiction, 10 Best Non Fiction, 5 Best Young Readers, and 5 Best Business Interest books, selected through a nominated short list and voting process by a panel of the company's booksellers and managers across the country. Books were selected for achievements ranging from literary style and innovation, entertainment value and readability, to timeliness and treatment of subjects and themes. The Big Short by Michael Lewis was chosen as Book of the Year. One of the titles was actually released in 2009, but didn't see major distribution until 2010, so it was included here.

The lists are prominently displayed in all Hudson Booksellers and large Hudson News stores.
